New York - June 12, 2006 - Exanet, the company that sets the bar for high-end, high-performance network attached storage (NAS), has expanded its North American reach with the launch of regional sales offices in Denver and Phoenix, joining existing locations in Atlanta, Dallas, New York and Toronto. Additionally, the company has appointed two industry veterans with extensive channel experience as Vice Presidents within the organization.

Jim Brown has been named Vice President, Channels and Business Development, with Creston Myers appointed Regional Vice President, West. Brown, who will be based out of Exanet's new Denver office, has over 17 years of experience developing and supporting channels, including resellers, distributors, system integrators and OEMs. He brings to Exanet a wealth of experience starting with 11 years at IBM as well as expertise in emerging technology and startup organizations. Myers, who previously served as the Western Region Sales Manager at Crosswalk, offers equal experience in direct sales and channel management of IT solutions, with proven success at the distribution and reseller levels. He will be working out of Exanet's new Phoenix facility.

'The new offices and recent hiring of Jim and Creston reflect Exanet's growing investment in our North American sales and support infrastructure and a rededication to expanding our presence among our channel partners,' said Bruce Chumley, President, Exanet Americas. 'As we continue to penetrate the U.S. market with our line of innovative NAS applications, we are extending our reach over a range of vertical markets that can benefit from simplified yet powerful storage solutions.'

This North American expansion follows the previously announced signing of five U.S.-based VARs to reselling agreements. These agreements are intended to open new avenues for the company's hardware-agnostic, high-performance storage solutions, and make them available to additional users and markets.

Exanet develops and markets the unique and versatile ExaStore system, an ideal solution for the most demanding storage environments; from high-bandwidth, mission-critical installations, to enterprise-wide, file-serving environments; to large-capacity, archiving applications. Exanet provides comprehensive storage solutions to companies in varied industries, such as manufacturing, telecommunications, media and entertainment, graphic arts, and healthcare.

In addition to the six regional offices now open across North America and its global headquarters in Israel, Exanet also has offices in France, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom.
